Da lama ao ou(t)ro: Cobra Norato, a gestação de um brasil...

Cobra Norato (1931), do autor gaúcho Raul Bopp (1898-1984), constitui uma das mais significativas obras do Modernismo brasileiro. Neste poema, dividido em 33 pequenos cantos, o personagem central é um homem que, após apossar-se da pele serpentária, empreende uma viagem em busca de sua amada, a filha da rainha Luzia, em poder de Cobra Grande, lendário vilão. Sendo o protagonista um viajante, Cobra Norato faz da travessia uma noção extremamente produtiva. Observaremos no estudo proposto, em que medida a ideia do deslocamento corrobora para uma das principais metáforas boppianas, manifestada na visão empática que seu texto instaura. De raízes folclóricas, com ressonâncias da literatura popular e inspirado num mito amazônico, Raul Bopp busca, pelo trabalho literário, criar uma linguagem adequada ao mundo que tematiza. Aproveitamos o conceito de imagem concebido por Aby Warburg (2010) para analisar como esta poética reproduz em suas nuances, a lógica da sobrevivência. Com Gaston Bachelard (1991) e Jean-Pierre Richard (1954) estudamos ainda as leituras que a presença da matéria lamacenta, intensamente presente na terra do Sem-fim, espaço de travessia do herói, pôde suscitar parte do sentido de descida primitivista. Vale ressaltar que o poema em questão foi idealizado sob as inspirações da corrente Antropofágica, desse modo, também pretendemos problematizar como os signos de tal projeto estético-ideológico são trabalhados no campo metafórico da poesia. Por isso destacamos, paulatinamente, a atenção dada ao desejo de unir duas pontas temporais a Idade de Ouro em que nos encontrávamos, segundo a visão mítica do paraíso nos textos da formação da nacionalidade, e a Idade de Ouro a que chegaríamos, depois da revisão crítica da corrente antropofágica , reafirmando o modelo de sociedade idealizado pela antropofagia (ANDRADE, 1928). Com auxílio de Lígia Morrone Averbuck (1985), Vera Lúcia Oliveira (2002), Otho Moacyr Garcia (1962), M. Cavalcante Proença (1971), Lúcia Sá (2012) entre outros, a pesquisa também pretende pôr em questão algumas das principais interpretações sobre Cobra Norato e fomentar o debate em torno dos dilemas e contradições de uma identidade cultural miscigenada, discussão também alcançada na malha simbólica do poema

The effect of organotin and copper sulfate on the late development and presettlement behavior of the hard clam Mercenaria mercenaria

The effect of organotin compounds and copper, commonly used as antifouling agent, were studied on Mercenaria mercernaria larvae. They were reared under usual hatchery conditions until they reached 190 um in diameter. The larvae were subjected to four compounds, tributylin chloride (TBT), monobutyltin chloride (MBT), trimethyltin chloride (TMT), cupric sulfate (CuSo4) plus control. Mortality was measured at 24, 48 h, and 96h. Behavioral and/or metamorphic changes were recorded in triplicate at 24-48 and 96 h. The appearance in swimming larvae of a functional foot was considered a sign of competence to set and was recorded as a "pediveliger". Swimming larvae were considered as larvae that have not yet reached their total development and they were recorded as "swimming". Larvae that did not show foot or swimming activity and were static but alive on the bottom were recorded as "bottom". TBT was found to completely inhibit swimming activity at sublethal concentrations throughout the period of observation. Copper and MBT inhibited swimming from 48 h, TMT did not inhibit swimming activity at any of the times recorded. The four compounds ranked in order of decreasing toxicity were TBT>TMT>CU>MBT.

Memórias de rios e de lagos na construção romanesca: leitura de narrativas da Amazônia paraense

This study focalizes the memoirs of rivers and of lakes in the romantic construction starting from the romances Chove nos campos de Cachoeira (1941), Marajó (1947) and Três casas e um rio (1958), of writer Dalcídio Jurandir; of the book of memoirs Marajó, minha vida (1998), of writer Dita Acatauassu; of the story "A Feiticeira", published in the book Contos Amazônicos, written by Inglês de Sousa (1883); of the short story "O Peixe", published in O carro dos milagres, (1990), of writer Benedicto Monteiro; of the oral narratives Honorato: Cobra Grande , O encanto de Honorato and A Lenda da Cobra Norato , picked up by the project named The Imaginary in the Shape of Oral Narratives of Paraense Amazon (IFNOPAP) of the Federal University of Pará. In those speeches, the voices of the memory detach the multiple functions of rivers and lakes represented as space, atmosphere, scenery, route and route, thread and fabric, re-elaborated in the narrators' memoirs, characters and narrators/character of the fiction and in popular narratives

Women artists of the international avant-garde: the case of "Abstraction-Création" (1931-1936)

Women’s contribution to abstract art in the interwar period is a subject that, to date, has received very little attention. In this article we deal with the untold story of the participation of women artists in Abstraction-Création, the foremost international group dedicated to abstract art in the 1930s. Founded in Paris in 1931, the group took on the work of two previous collectives to become a platform for the dissemination and promotion of abstract art and consisted of around a hundred members. Twelve of these were women, whose writings and works were published in the group’s annual magazine, abstraction creátion art non figuratif (1932-1936), and who participated in a number of the group’s exhibitions. Compared to what had occurred in previous groups, the participation of women, although reduced in number, was comparable to that of the male artists and being members of the group had a generally positive impact on the women’s careers. However, all this came at the expense of relinquishing any gender specificity in their work and the public presentation of it, and demonstrates that the normalization of women’s contributions to the avant-garde could only be brought about alongside a questioning of the more dogmatic views of modernity.

Líneas posibles de avance del modelo de Sraffa

Diversas consideraciones históricas e ideológicas han impedido la difusión de la obra fundamental de Sraffa Producción de mercancías por medio de mercancías. La obra de Sraffa ha sido estudiada fundamentalmente en sus aspectos matemáticos por economistas tales como Garegnani, Abraham-Frois, Pasinetti, Steedman, Kurz, Roncaglia, etc. pero sin desarrollar apenas sus aspectos teóricos y económicos. En este artículo se hacen algunas consideraciones sobre posibles desarrollos del libro de Sraffa a partir de su propio esquema de pensamiento.

El dinero en la historia del pensamiento económico: la teoría monetaria postkeynesiana y su confrontación con la ortodoxia

Las disputas en torno a determinados aspectos del dinero, como su neutralidad y el carácter endógeno o exógeno de la oferta monetaria, han sido permanentes entre las distintas escuelas de pensamiento y autores, estando su origen, probablemente, en la época de desarrollo del pensamiento escolástico. En este artículo pretendemos, en primer lugar, realizar un recorrido cronológico e histórico sobre el tratamiento científico económico del dinero, para, en segundo lugar, poner sobre la mesa la macroeconomía ortodoxa a la que han dado lugar las interpretaciones al respecto, así como los enfoques alternativos frente a este pensamiento dominante. Finalmente, intentamos poner en valor los desarrollos monetarios post-keynesianos, integrados en lo que denominan “Economía Monetaria de Producción”, confrontándolos con la llamada Nueva Síntesis Neoclásica.
